No replacement approval was identified in this research. The reviewed changes do not establish a universal US “demo slot publisher licence” that resolves copyright, distribution permission, promotion and privacy in one step.
The US Copyright Office advises seeking permission where doubt exists about use of protected material. That supports a rights-first procurement approach, but does not establish that every iframe, external link or asset use presents the same copyright question. (copyright.gov)
What belongs in a demo game licensing agreement checklist?
The following are recommended commercial requirements, not assertions that every item is mandated by a particular statute:
| Requirement | Evidence to request |
|---|---|
| Authority to grant access | Supplier identity, rights-holder identity and applicable downstream distribution authority. |
| Permitted implementation | Explicit treatment of iframe embedding, external links, self-hosting and redistribution. |
| Domains and territories | Named sites, subdomains, intended states or countries and excluded uses. |
| Assets and metadata | Permission for screenshots, logos, descriptions, feeds and editorial reuse. |
| Promotional control | Rules governing banners, wagering links, overlays and supplier-added calls to action. |
| Configuration accuracy | Game/version identifiers and a process for verifying any published mathematical or feature claims. |
| Change and withdrawal | Notice obligations, emergency suspension, replacement arrangements and exit assistance. |
| Data responsibilities | Purposes, recipients, retention, deletion assistance and change notification. |
A working public URL should remain “permission unverified” until the buyer has suitable evidence. This is a procurement rule designed to prevent technical accessibility from being mistaken for contractual authorisation—not a blanket legal conclusion about all linking.
